Hydraulic Fracking Process Monitoring

Fracking, otherwise known as hydraulic fracturing, has become a word well-known with the recent expansion of oil exploration. As fracking helps to release natural substances (in this case, oil) from the earth’s rock for extraction, monitoring sensors directly at the site provide data and supervisory control for engineers and personnel controlling the fracking process.
